Humane Society of the Ohio Valley
Our Mission
The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley is dedicated to promoting the welfare of animals within greater Washington County, Ohio, by providing a safe haven for those in need. We strive to save and enrich the lives of our companion animals while fostering a community built on compassionate care and responsible pet ownership.
Our History
Since 2013, our organization has remained steadfast in our commitment to lifesaving, consistently maintaining a live release rate of over 90% in recent years. We believe every animal deserves a second chance, and for over a decade, we have worked to ensure that local homeless pets receive the support, medical attention, and love they need to thrive.
How We Operate
Our work is a true team effort supported by dedicated staff and a robust foster network. We operate an animal shelter at 90 Mount Tom Road in Marietta, where we provide daily care, medical treatment, and essential social interaction for our residents. By utilizing foster homes, we can also offer animals a restful, loving retreat while they wait to find their forever families.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adopting a shelter pet is a life-changing experience for both the animal and your family. We focus on making the best possible match between our residents and their potential adopters, ensuring long-term success and happiness. Our adoption counselors are available to help you navigate this transition, and we encourage you to involve your children and existing pets in the process to ensure everyone is ready for this exciting new chapter.
Take the Next Step
You may be just one click away from meeting the love of your life!
